Our Doorway To Camping OZ

Well in preparation of cleaning the tent part of the camper trailer, has begun. It would be much easier if it was being done on setup, unfortunately I couldn't get enough reach on the roof to spray the entire roof. To solve the solution as I didn't want to pull the entire annexe down, I bought a pressure spraying device which works off 12v power wirelessly. The device also has a long wand that it extends my reach, hopefully this will work.  Well I charged up the pressure spraying device and put water in it for a test, it sprayed a nice even coat with not much run off.  It is currently very windy at the moment for this week but at the end of the week rain has been forecast. I will attempt this project midweek if the weather allows me to do the job. Well it is still windy so I decided to fill the pressure spraying device with Curtain Magic, drop the poles of the camper trailer and started to spray. The wind made it hard but spraying the roof easy. I got most of the area except on

Still self isolating at Aratula in Queensland. Well travel restrictions still apply, so in the next few blogs I will talk about projects I am currently under taking to make living out of a camper trailer much more enjoyable .  The first one I wish to talk about how do I manage living off grid, without a power pole? Well 12v and 240v are available to me. I have a house battery bank of 780 amps, which consists of 6x130amps batteries. Also currently I have 2 inverters that take care of my 240v needs. This brings me to the next question how do I manage to power these batteries? Living off grid the 2 main power source for electricity is solar or wind and yes you can charge the batteries with a generator. Most campers go with solar panels and yes most times you can guarantee that sunrise and sunset will happen every day. Problems like cloud cover, storms or even shade from trees will influence how much energy you collect daily. We do now when sunset occurrence happens daily no energy is coll

Well as Queensland starts to ease some restrictions and winter time is knocking on the door, I too feel concerned that things maybe moving to fast. If we look at other countries being so Blaise about restrictions and their death toll rising, no wonder I am concerned. I will stay self isolating for a bit longer and watch on to see how our country Australia handles it. The flu season is upon us so is coughing and sneezing. Well somethings are out of our control, so you can only look after yourself as many people have different opinions. Well this week I have been doing some photography, and editing these photos to make them look different. Here are some results below. This is a picture of my campfire, it makes a difference editing it into a frame. Changing backgrounds makes the focal point different. My photo in a billboard, I like it. Well it has passed sometime while self isolating. The black spot mould on the canvas is put on hold as I can't reach all of the roof area. I have

Well the Coronavirus is currently effecting my travel plans, I was heading towards the goldfields of Western Australia for some prospecting opportunities. It doesn't help that most of Australia borders are closed . It is a pandemic occurrence that Australia has not seen in Australia since the Spanish Flu of 1918. That was a major pandemic and many people around the world lost their lives too. Well the Coronavirus seem just as aggressive and it is nice that the government has responded so well to look after the people. Self isolation and social distancing is a small price to pay to reduce the spread of the virus. I fully support it even though there are challenges a head. Well now living in a camper trailer in bushland setting is already almost isolation any way. It gives us time to catch up on some much needed maintenance and cleaning of our home which is our camper trailer. One of my big jobs is to clean the canvas tent on the camper trailer. While up North Queensland in the humi
